CARD-HOLDER BINDING DEVICE.

Application filed June 10, 1915; Serial No. 33,371.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Jason W. JORDAN, Jr, a citizen of the Jnited States, residing at Lexington, in the county of Holmes and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Card- Holder Binding Devices, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to the class of checks, labels and tags, and pertains especially to a card, check, label or tag holder and binder for bundles and packages, and is especially applicable to bundles and packages of laundry, for individually difierentiating the same in collection thereof.

The object of-the invention is to provide a combined label or card holder and binder for articles and packages, whereby the holder may constitute part of the binder, and to furnish such connections between the holder and the binder as to attach a card, ticket, tag or label to the holder.

Various other objects, advantages and improved results are attainable in the practical application of the invention, as will be hereinafter disclosed.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this application: Figure 1 is a perspective view showing'the application of the invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectonal view partly broken away. Fig. 3 is an 7 elevation of the holder. r

The same reference characters denote the same parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

In carrying out my invention and in the practical application thereof, I preferably use thin pliable sheet metal for the holder, the bands or binders are preferably composed of elastic webbing or tape, and the identification card is preferably composed of celluloid or similar material. The purposes and advantages of using these preferred materials will be hereinafter fully explained.

The ticket or card holder is struck or stamped in one piece out of thin pliable ma terial, such as white metal, so asto form rectangular openings 1 and 2, separated by a central bar or strip 3, with a similar bar V or rib t at one end of the opening 1, and

a. like bar 5 at one end of the opening 2. These bars or ribs extend from one to the other of theside members 6 of the holder, and the bars 4 and 5 'arelocated adjacent to and parallel with the ends 7 and 8 of the Specification of Letters Patent.

holder to form slots 9 and 10. The side members 6 have aslotll opposite the ends of the central bar 3.

The identification card, ticket or tag 12is of such width as to fit the openings 1 and 2, and of such length as tohave its ends fit under the holder ends 7 and 8. One end -of the card or ticket has a slit 13'.

The tie band or tape 14: is looped around and Secured to thenarrow end 7 of the holder and said tape is preferably and ad- 'vantageously'much narrower than'the slot a take up fastening device such as the buckle,

15, and the band or tape may have, printe'd or stamped thereon, such indicia as the name of the proprietor, or the'name of a laundry firm or company. The'back of the .cardor ticket may contain like or similar indicia, and the name and address of the consignor, and the reverse or front side of the, card is arranged in two sections separated by the bar 3, one section for the name and address of the consignee, and the other section for the name or character of the article, bundle or package, with the amount due or collectible thereon.

The card or ticket is connected with the holder by placing the card under the bar 3 and extending the ends of the card over the bars l and 5, and under the ends 7 and 8 of the holder so as to leave the card slit in the slot between the bar 5 and the end 8, for inserting the tie band or tape 14. Similar tape 16 is looped through the slots 11 and thereby secured to the side members of the holder. v

In the practical application of the device to a bundle or package such as 17, the card having been inserted in the holder as herelnafter stated, thefree 'end of the tape 14 is the bundle and said free end is then an-,

chored by means of the buckle or other fastening device. The tape 16 is, secured in one of the slots 11, and extends at right angles to the tape 14L and the ends thereof are temporarily fastened together, by a It will be observed that'ithe card is rendered free or detachable from the holder by merely withdrawing the free end of the tape 14, that the length and elasticity of the tape is intended to be such as may be applied to individual laundry packages of the usual size Without withdrawing the tape from the card slit, and that the card may be readily E removed, replaced and removed, by withdrawing it from the holder and sliding it from the tape.

lVhen celluloid cards or tickets are used the indicia may be erased and renewed so as to permit repeated use of the same card. Obviously the holder may be made of celluloid, aluminum, or other suitable material capable of conforming with the shape of the bundle or package and thereby constitute part of the binder.

- ing my invention to any particular size or material, or as limiting myself to any particular number of binders or tie bands, but reserve the right to make such changes and variations in the practical application of the invention as may come within the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described my invention what 7 I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A device for binding and labeling bundles and packages, comprising a plate composed of flexible material having slotted side members, and'bars connecting the side members, a cross bar adjacent to each end bar and forming a slot between the cross bars and the end bars, a central bar connecting the side members, an identification card fitting between the side members and extending under the central bar and over the cross bars and terminating under the end bars, a tape passing through the end slots and through one end of the card, and a tape passing through the said side slots.

In witness whereof I hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
